"Synthogy's Ivory goes where no virtual piano has gone before... it is such a major advance in the cause of the virtual grand piano, it is hard to do anything but praise it... With Ivory, I would feel comfortable going out and playing a solo gig for the first time... an extraordinary playing experience!" - SOUND ON SOUND "Joe Ierardi is a very important talent in the creation of musical sound. Piano sounds have been the hallmark of Kurzweil Music products for many years, and his sound design is second to none. He has more experience in this area than anyone in the industry that I can think of." - Raymond Kurzweil "Ivory has the most realistic, musically satisfying and sonically beautiful grand pianos I have ever heard. I'm in love with the sound and I can't stop playing it! Listen for it on the next Dream Theater CD as well as all my solo recordings." - Jordan Rudess Three Glorious Grands in one multi-platform sample-based Virtual Instrument. Ivory Grand Pianos is a multi-platform plug-in that recreates the sound and playing experience of 3 of the world's great concert grand pianos: the B�sendorfer Imperial 290 Concert Grand, the Steinway D Concert Grand, and the Yamaha C7 Grand. Recorded in the finest concert halls and studios with state of the art equipment, each piano is sampled with extreme attention to detail by award winning sound designer, Joe Ierardi. These superb sample recordings are brought to life by Synthogy's custom sample playback and DSP engine, built from the ground up to deliver a new level of realism in digital sound creation. Each and every feature in Ivory is designed to bring out all the nuance of the original acoustic instrument's resonance, character and response. Groundbreaking features such as Release Samples that are triggered by both velocity and note duration, Sustain Resonance DSP for realistic damper pedal response, and real Una Corda (soft pedal) samples, are just a few examples of how Ivory's powerful engine delivers the unprecedented realism it is famous for. Use of proprietary Timbre Interpolation technology assures the smoothest velocity and note transitions for each of the pianos, achieving a level of musical playability that is unparalleled. Synthogy's goal in designing Ivory was not simply to create a piano sample, or even make a virtual instrument, but rather to design a musical instrument. One that could meet the exacting performance standards of the most demanding and accomplished players, and at the same time be enjoyed by all of those who love piano. Additionally, Ivory has been designed to meet the needs of anyone who requires piano in their musical production. Ivory's DSP engine includes world class digital effects such as Ambience, EQ and Chorusing. A host of custom controls such as Timbre, Stereo Width and Perspective, Mechanical Key Noise, Timbre Control, Stretch and Equal Tempered Tuning are placed at the user's fingertips to quickly tailor the sound and performance of Ivory to personal taste and to your production mix. Finally, Ivory places all of this control and power in a simple, intuitive, and highly attractive user interface. Ivory is the complete package, but one only needs to sit down and play it to understand why players, critics, producers and engineers all over the world have acclaimed its brilliance and surpassing musicality. Ivory is an extraordinary playing experience!
